Exactly A year and a half since AOR. Nothing Yet :(

[HopefulDreamer101]

Hello everyone, hope your pursuit of happiness is in full swing.

It has been one and a half year since i received my AOR and the last thing to change was my BG to "In Progress" (which was a year ago). Recently i emailed the Ottawa office (That's where my application is) and i got the same, generic, template reply that they almost always give. "Still under process".
I got the GCMS notes and there's not much information about how far my application has reached, although it does say that I've already passed my Background check. So i'm not sure what's taking them so long.

Any advice from our experienced members or anyone who knows what to do in this situation, would be highly appreciated.
Looking forward to reading from you.

I would highly suggest you to consult a good lawyer my friend. Since you have already done the major part of the procedure, it won't cost you much to seek some professional advise. I am not sure if anyone in this forum is experienced enough on all the possible channels to find out more on your case.

All the best !!!

Hi I suggest you check through your GCMS notes to see if there are some parts hidden. If you see that on some pages there supposed to be some texts or paragraphs but apparently something was white out, those parts will be the concern of the VO. You probably will have some clue about the what is the problems of your case.

What do you think a lawyer will do? Go to CIC and get the app processed faster.
He will take the money and he will send the mail thats all. And they will charge almost full amount.

Now applications are being processed faster. Earlier min 6-9 months, before that more than an year or two.
What lawyers did then, nothing. Still family sponsorship apps are taking a lot of time lawyer will ask you to just wait.

Hire a consultant if you have a complicated case like a bad divorce etc.
